Ironwood Electronics has extended its embedded gold plated wire elastomer (SG) socket line with SG15 and SG25 versions that provides up to 40 GHz bandwidth in a small, cost effective ZIF socket for prototype and test applications.  The SG15 & SG25 sockets are available in a small footprint that is only 2.5mm larger than the IC […]

High Performance IC Sockets and Adaptors: An economical and reliable alternative to soldering BGA devices directly to the motherboard. Same footprint as BGA device. Compact, low-profile design maximizes PC board space. Ironwood has Fastest Delivery. Soldering Very Similar to Soldering IC Package. PCB can be reflowed with Giga-snaP. Access to BGA Pads for Test & Interconnection. Pin Counts from […]

Users can connect their 724 pin 1mm pitch BGA device via BGA socket adapter to the mother board with excellent signal integrity !!  These BGA socket adapters passed environmental tests (MIL-STD) and qualified for various range of applications including automotive, military, communications, industrial, etc. The BGA socket adapter line is available in many different pin […]

GT is a new elastomer technology that has silver particles held in a conductive column like buttons which are embedded in a nonconductive polymer substrate on a proper pitch that provides high compliance and extreme temperature ranges. GT is available for BGA, LGA, QFN, PoP and other packages from 0.15mm to 1.27mm pitch.  

Ironwood's GT sockets are ideal for prototyping and testing almost any BGA or QFN device application. These IC sockets provide excellent signal integrity yet remain cost effective. Innovative elastomer interconnect technology that delivers low signal loss (1dB at 75GHz) and supports BGA or QFN packages with pitches down to 0.15mm was utilized in these sockets. […]

Ironwood Electronics has recently introduced a new high performance QFN socket for 0.5mm pitch QFN40. The CG-QFN-7009 socket is designed for 6X6 mm package size and operates at bandwidth up to 10 GHz with less than 1dB of insertion loss. The socket is designed with easy open single latch snap lid with integrated spring loaded […]

Hi-Reliability Ultra Low Profile Carrier Socket Assemblies ·  Eliminate hand loading individual terminals ·  Prevents Contact Contamination During Soldering · Available in Any Configuration Carrier Socket Assemblies carry low profile terminals through your soldering process to provide a space saving perfectly pependicular, coplanar, and substrateless socket after soldering. After assembly, the carrier is either discarded or send back to factory […]
